FASN 2100 has introduced me to a new way of thinking. The assignments have pushed me further into learning to design towards a specific target market. I have learned that it is difficult to start a brand as it takes a lot of research to understand the lifestyle of the target market.

I try to respond quickly to others, as time can be very valuable. I work at Pfaff and Nicole Bridger ‘on call’ when they may need an extra employee.
